A while back I wrote up a short blog post about a script that would let you delete all the images throughout your document — but leave the frames intact. A reader, Matt Byers, sent us an email recently with another solution.
This works only for the images on the current spread, but it’s clever and a good reminder of a rarely-used feature, so I wanted to pass it along:
…how to select multiple graphic frames and delete the content: I select the frames I want to delete the contents from (I still need the frames there, as I will be putting in new content), choose Object > Select > Content (or press Shift-Esc), and then press Delete.
Great idea! Love that Shift-Esc shortcut…
